Cuscohygrin is a pyrrolidine alkaloid and a congener of hygrin found in coca ( Erythroxylum coca ). There might be also from plants of the family Solanaceae family ( Solanaceae ) are obtained, including black nightshade ( Atropa Belladonna , Deadly Nightshade), Datura Inoxia ( Datura innoxia ) and Thorn apple ( Datura stramonium , Jimson weed). Cuscohygrine usually occurs with other, stronger alkaloids like atropine or cocaine .

Natural Cuscohygrin is a mixture of the meso form (2 R , 2 ' S ) and the racemic form (2 R , 2' R or 2 S , 2 ' S ). It was first made in 1889 by Carl Liebermann from coca leaves isolated.

Extraction and presentation

Several methods of synthesis of cuscohygrin are known. Thus, the condensation of acetone dicarboxylic acid with two molecules of γ-methylaminobutyraldehyde at a pH of 7 gives a high yield of cuscohygrin.
